BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Arrival protocols
BVI Customs and Immigration require all vessels to register and submit arrival notifications through SailClear.
All vessels must also clear in at an approved BVI port of entry before proceeding to Nanny Cay Marina.
Every person entering the BVI must complete the British Virgin Islands Customs and Immigration portal up to 72 hours before your arrival. Just before arriving at Nanny Cay Marina, please contact the Dockmaster on VHF Channel 16 or 68 so our team can be ready to assist with your lines and give you your slip allocation. The Marina Office is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., 365 days a year.
Temporary entrance to Nanny Cay
The new entrance to Nanny Cay will be almost at a 90° angle to the old entrance, running parallel to the Tortola shore. This requires limited dredging to create the new channel.
While the dredging work takes place, a new navigation channel into the marina is an operation.
